Wanderlust

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness"
- Mark Twain

"There is no happiness for him who does not travel!
Thus we have heard.
Living in the society of men, even the best man becomes a sinner.
Therefore, wander!
The fortune of him who is sitting, sits.
It rises when he rises.
It sleeps when he sleeps.
It moves when he moves.
Therefore, wander!"

-Aitreya Brahmanan, the Rigveda (800-600 BC)
